THE GROUP CHAT IRL

An International Women's Day Celebration in San Diego

A Day of Party, Progress & Purpose.

Come for the vibe. Leave with momentum.

A Day of Party, Progress & Purpose. ☻ Come for the vibe. Leave with momentum. ☻

You know that moment?

The one where you're standing in your perfectly fine life—good job, great shoes, decent coffee—and you think: Is this it?

Not in a depressing way. More like... I know there's another level to this. I can feel it.

That's the moment we're here for.

Because here's what nobody tells you: The next chapter doesn't start with a plan. It starts with a room.

A room where you can laugh too loud and nobody flinches. Where "I'm figuring it out" is the most honest thing you can say. Where the CEO and the side-hustler and the woman who just quit her job are all drinking the same rosé, swapping stories like old friends.

This is that room.

We’re taking the group chat live

You know that group chat? The one where you send the unhinged voice memos, the "am I crazy or..." texts, the 2 AM revelations…

We're bringing it to life.

Because here's the thing: the best advice you've ever gotten didn't come from a keynote speaker. It came from your girls. The ones who tell you the truth. Who gas you up. Who've been there, survived it, and came back with receipts.

This is that energy—in a room full of women you haven't met yet.

The Group Chat IRL is where entrepreneurs meet investors meet mothers meet dreamers meet women who are actively figuring it out—and nobody's pretending anymore.

This isn’t like the conventions you’re used to. This is real women having real conversations about the messy, beautiful, complicated thing it is to build a life you actually want.

Featured Conversation:
Women Who Weren't Supposed To Be There

Join us for a conversation with women who've operated in spaces traditionally dominated by men—sports, military, STEM, and beyond—and hear what it actually takes to not just survive, but thrive.

The locker room stories they don't tell in interviews.

The moments they almost quit (and why they didn't).

The advice they wish someone had given them on day one.

And how they're changing the game for the women coming up behind them.

This isn't your typical panel. It's the real talk. The unfiltered truth. The kind of conversation that makes you think, Wait, I can do that too.

Because when women share the playbook? Everyone wins.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Friendship is infrastructure

Your network isn't just LinkedIn contacts. It’s the foundation for your support system.

Community is the catalyst

You don't rise alone. You rise because someone believed in you first.

Giving is multiplication

What you share comes back tenfold. Advice. Intros. That perfect red lipstick rec.

Magic happens when women stop performing and start being.

Ready to celebrate women?!

Meet us in the room where celebration meets momentum.
Where you remember who the hell you are.
Because the best rooms are the ones where you can finally exhale.

See you there, babe.
